THE ELECTRO CHEMICAL BATH,
ANI>
DIRECT &TO-&-FRQ ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE.
TAMES HARRIS. KI.KCTRHIAS, of Towanda, respect
• I fully informs the public that he has lately procured
from New York the celebrated Electro-Chemical Bath,
which has proven to be one of tlie most "important and
wonderful discoveries of the age. from its ability to extract
minerals from the human system.
Some eiirht year ago. n physician of Cincinnati disco
vered the process of extracting minerals from the bodv,
by galvaiii.-iu : more recently. M. Verges, of New York,
ail electro-gilder, having suffered from the introduction of
poisonous minerals into his system in the prosecution of
wis 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 these Baths remove
mineral poisons, tcured many diseases, some of which
were the result of minerals, and some were not.
More recent experiments have fully confirmed the sin
gular poAver of this Bath to draw from the system all mi
nerals that may be lodged therein, to the great detriment
of health. Very often persons are afflicted by diseases
which are beyond tlie comprehension of the most skilful
physicians, and which are the effect of poisonous mine
rals accumulating iu the system for years, taken in the
shape of calomel, lead. Ac. Ac.
The following are some of tlie diseases cured by these
laths: Rheumatism, Paralysis, Palsy, Painter's t'holic,
Chronic Ulcers, Glandular Swellings. Scrofula, Cancer,
Netiralia iu all its forms, Salt Kheuia and Humors of all
kinds.
He has also S.B. Smith's newlv invented DIRECT AND
To-AND-FRO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE, which
is a great improvement on the Magnetic machines hereto
fore in use. With the aid of the Bath and Ma.-hine, tve
have at command all the available medical efficiency of
Electricity. The medical power of the Machine is very
great, in introducing medicines into tlie system through
tlie |ores of the skin—applying it directly to the parts 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 diseases.
I ant now prepared to apply these Baths, and also the
Machines, at my house in the south part of the borough
of Towanda, or I will A-isit patients at a distance, rvho are
unable by reason of disease to rune to this place, at mo
derate prices.
1 am also sole agent for Bradford cnuntv, for the above
Machines. JAMES HARRIS.

Till: TRIBUNE FOR 1851
Tin- Election i- past. and its results proves that the
work devolved <>" ttie Repuldiean party is not yet cum
pletrd. In all the Ka-tern and Northern portions of the
country—in New-England, New-York .Ohio and the North
\Vc-t--thc Republican banner floats in triumph : while in
Southern Jersey. Pennsylvania. Indiana and Illinois—in
short, wherever few newspapers arc taken, and where
common schools are too new and too feeble to have edu
cated the pre-ent generation of voters—tlie hlaek flay of
Slavery obstructs the sunshine. A stranger to America
might di-tingnish those portions of our country most
Ue-sed with Education, Intelligence. Thrift and Virtue,
bv scanning the returns of the Presidential contest of IHSG.
Vi'e have failed of present success, not because the Peo
ple are against us. but because that la rye portion who did
not hear or read the argument and do not know what
were the real i|t;estlons at i -no. went almost solid against
us. reversing the verdict with h the great majority of the
educated and intelligent endeavored to pronounce.
These facts indicate the path of pressing duty. With
no unmanlv repinings over what is irrevocable— I witii uo
abatement "of heart or bpe because the triumph of Lil>er
♦v in her new ordeal i< not won at the Tsang Island and
White Plains of her struggle—with no shadow of regret
that the responsibility of governing is not confided to her
champions before the People were fully ready to sustain
them—we begin afresh the work of diffusing that vital
truth which, in regard to the concerns of this world as
well as of the next, makes Free indeed. Now. in the
Slave Power's hevday of victory, when its ministers and
servitors are gathering and plotting to make the most of
their triumph and "crush out" the spirit which they vain
ly believe to he crucified and entombed—now. when the
faint-hearted or cold hhnrtod who lately basked in the
sunshine of our premature hopes are hauling off to repair
damages and talking of abandoning the rugged arena of
Politics for more quiet and flowery fields—now. in this
hour of weariness and shadow, Ttiv: TIUBI SK reuews its
vows of eternal hostility to every form of tyranny over
the bodies or souls of then—to the shameful assumption
that the benighted and feeble, whether in soul or body,
are to la- regarded and treated as the convenience or the
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 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 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, hut for the sustenance
and comfort of those near and dear to liini—is destined to
certain triumph. It muxt prevail, for God reigns, and
Earth was not created to be a theatre of injustice, oppres
sion and mUery for ever. It mutt triumph ; tor all true
prophecy affirms and the vindication of the Divine benig
nity imperatively requires it. It muni 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 mux! triumph ; for Man's history
is not a chaos or a riddle, hut everywhere instinct with
meaning : and no hemic effort ever failed of its effect—no
drop of martyr blood was ever shed in vain.
But even if we Republicans were disposed to fold our
arms in slumber our adversaries would not permit it. They
are busy to-day in lengthening their cords and strength
ening tiieir stakes with a vigilance and activity which re
veals a consciousness on their part that their dominion
must he made sure forthwith or their see] it re will have
forever departed. To-day, myrmidoms of the Slave Pow
er threaten and harass Northern Mexico, are eneainped
in the heart of Central America and waging a war of ex
termination on the distracted inhabitants of its petty Re
publics. while it by turns leers and scowls at Cuba, while
its most ruthless hands are precipitated on devoted Kan
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
defend their homes against the rapine and violence of Bn
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 felons. This
is but a' fair specimen of what lias long passed for "jus
tice" in Kansas—a justice which takes toe criminals into
pay and aids them in hunting down, plundering and
•' wiping out"' the innocent, whom it consigns to the
State prison if tliey arc ever goaded into the madness of
resisting their oppressors. Such crimes and wrongs as
unhappy Kansas has for twelve months endured, eveu
Hungary or Poland has never known ; and the Power at
whose instigation these 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 that
Republicans may now pile their arms, even for an hour ?
TUK TKIBI SIC will be, as 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
Correspondents, while from London, Paris, Constantino
ple, Havana, San Francisco, Albany and other centres of
interest, our special advices will lie, as they have been,
fre>h and reliable. A member of our Editorial cmyx—
Bayard Taylor—is now in Northern Europe, and will
spend the Winter in Sweden, Lapland. Russia, thence
making bis way next season across Siberia and Tartary
to the month 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 he 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
tures. Public Meetings, Ac., will lie full and reliable, and
our Foreign and Domestic News made up with a careful
regard to the condensation into our ample columns of the
greatest amount of intelligence that is consistent with
the use of type of a generons size. In short, if we fail to
make TUK Titittt NK worth its cost, it shall not be for want
of expenditure or effort.
If it be deemed desirable by Republicans that THE TKI
BI'NK should lie circulated in their several localities, we
urge them to see that Clubs lie made up and forwarded
in due season. The Postmasters are semi-offlcially ad
monished not to aid our circulation, but to urge instead
that of journals deemed " sound'' and " National" hv the
compatriots of Atchison and Stringfellow. We a-k live
Republicans everywhere to take care that these efforts lie
not effectual to quench the light of Freedom in the mur
ky mists of Slavery.

JjGL most choice stork of FASHION ABLE
JKWKIJIV evrrottered to u discriminating
jj&jE—t 3) public. Indeed. he ran safely say that with
the opening of his new store has lieen in
augurated a new em in the Jewelry line,
inasmuch as along with the choice and elegant assortment
he pives the most reliable assurance of an almost incredi
hle reduction in prices : the rich and tasteful articles hav
ins lieen nil tsuiglit with ready cash. •
A. M. \\\, Mien he reflects how, for the past years,with
a far less attractive stock, he has enjoyed so larjrea share
of public patronage. Hatters himself that the immense in
crease of Hoods he now otters, which have lieen bought so
much more advantageously, will enable him to increase
the generous confidence which lias hitherto been vouch
safed to him. He therefore solicits a continuance of the
favor of his old customers, anil invites the public general
ly to come and see the fashions.
' ws-TUK WATCH REPAIRING DEPARTMENT will
continue to lie distinguished by the skill and despatch
which has heretofore enabled it to enjoy the enviable rep
utation of 1 icing the most reliable iu town.
