big out a FLLL volt, ViT propose to offer

January, 1861. We make the following
low offer:
For four copies six months - -
For seven copies six months- - .4,00
• For ten copies six months -;- - 5,00
The club papers to be sent to one per
son in a bundle; and to be paid for when
ordered. This offer is so extreinely low,.
that we trust out; friends will exert them
selves to get up a club in eery neighbor
hood. Postmasters can do a greatdealof
good in . this way, and we urge them, and
others, to take early action in this import
ant matter.
- 7P"' The ditsg of this paper will be ab

ing'to the duties, of his appointment. Mr.

that they will take rank with the Huta

THE COVODE comE['mE
The Covode smelling Cominittee, aps
pointo by the black republi* Membera
of the House, to aid their party in the
presidential campaign, have got on the
right scent at last. All their sneaking- and
,malicious efforts to hunt up a tangible
growl& of complaint against .the administ
tration proving abortive, Mr. Winslow, 4
Democratic member of the Committee
. .
now offers to put them on the right track;
but they are afraid to follow. 'Mr.
low-is powerleis in theCommittee,,but he ;
is honest and fair enough to-point out the
right road to the majority, if they are re;,'
ally anxious to hunt up election framist . -1
The following summary from the proceed 4
ings of Saturday last will explain: -
Mr. Winslow, rising to a question
:o
privilege, caused to be read extracts from!
the journal of the Covode Committee, of
which he" is a member, -by which - it V:
pears that he desired to subpena'certam
citizens of Luzeme
county,vPa.
To "this Mr. Covode interposed that he
had the names of one hundred persons at
in every instance they had no cennectioti
with the governMent he - declined to sum?.
mon them.. Mr.- Winslow bad -been in
formed on reliable authority,' that large
sums of money .bad'been used to secure
the election of Irdi. Scranton to this House!
Mr. Covode to this replied that he would
-vote to subpena Mr. I.Winslow's witnesses
if that gentleman could trace back the use
of the money to the government; and "a 4
Mr. Scranton was here he would summon
him. .
Mr. Winslow's request was refused, as:
was also his motion to submit the mattet
to the House. At a subsequent' eriod Me /
Winslow wished to subpena Mr. M3lllllO
and others of Philadelphia. BY themh4
expected to prove bribery on the part o
`the officers of . the election in. that city iii.
the Fall of 1856. Thifi request- *as aIS4
denied by a tie vote. Mr.-NVinslOw then
moved to subpena Witnessesfroni Greed;
boro' ate Pittsburg, understanding that
they could prove corruption in WestmorO
land county..
To which Mr. Covode objected that
these gentlernen had no connection with
the government: This request was refin
ed. It further appeared that some witneS
es bad been examined by the'Committ4e
who had not been summoned...
-The above is a summary of the recerd:i
Mr. Houston asked who represente4
the Westmoreland 'district, where frauds
are alleged ? '

Mr. Winslow submitted a reselUtion di-,
recting the Speaker to issue his- subpeniil
tot certain. witnesses, and caused to Ve'
read one of the resolutions under which
the Committee *as appointed,' to six)*
that- the inquiry he proposed Nl:as legiti

SUCCESSFUL REMOVAL OF
CANCER.
We have lately heard of a sucCesstill
moval of a' cancer of about seven yea'r's
statidinz, from the left breast of a Mee.
Glass of Claytonywhich we think worthy
of notice. -It . was a case of' undoubtiid
cancer, so pronounced by eery -physic*
whom she had consulted in regard to •
'all of Whom gave her little or , no encour
agement that it :could ever be cured.-1--
About two,months since Dr. L. Phillips.,
of Clayton, was called, Who advised as her
only chance for life, to have it removed hy
surgical operation, is: she could-live butia
few weeks unless it Was done.; She how
ever postponed it until the 28tlf of Mari 11
last; when, after enduring the most exerp=
dating pain and agony; and failing' very
fast., consent was
.finally given, and Dias.
Ellis, Cline were called to assit.
After getting her fully under the influenCe
of Chloroform, the \ entire • breast was - re,
moved, including the ligaturing of the
blood-Vessels, in seven and a half minutei !
during which time he experienced not i a
particle of pain. • . •
Since 'the operation, Mrs. G. has conttii
ued to improve remarkably faSt,iinfil now
she is able to visit her neighbOrs, superih
tend her domestic afrairs, enjoys her foo
and sleep, ands:the_ breast is about Or:
thirds heale&-• The operation is believed
to have been clone in . very 'skillful iand
scientific manner, and could not haVe been
excelled
-by any- surgeon. 'Dr. Thilliiis;
We are told, is quite modest in. his'claiins,
and declines all newspaper puffs; Simply

the quarrel over the] provisioni. of tit bill
is almost. exclusively con fi ned to the.l
Re
publican party, with which the bill . origin-,
ated, and- which-has; ever had a perm ant
for tariff 'legislation, 'without, how tier,
ever accomplishing :any substantial ood.
Bitt the crownint . glory of this 'lack
republican haidling is.a heavy tax on books.
That party, notwithstanding their 4ser
tions to the contrary,can only thrive .npon
the ignorance and credulity of the . people,
and hence they propOse to increase the tax
on imported books Over one hundred per
cent. above the present D emocratic tariff.
This is taxing imported kboivledge almost;
if not quite, to prohibition. To be con
sistent they. should now lay a domestic
taxiipon all seminaries and schools oflearn
ing,
and upon the studies therein pursued. •
Could-they enforce Such a law it might ad
vance the interests of their - party: -
This enormous tai upon impOrted-bools
should -startle our bOok loving people. So
earful have our -Pemocrtie Legislators
heretoforebeen of obstructing the sti+anis
of knoweldge, that they have refusedl o en
act an ' international copyright law, fear
ing that foreign atrthors.would hold i their.
productions too high for the masses of our
population, who are great renders and
seekers after loiowedge, and they fixed
-thg,:tariff on imported books so low
_awl
to barely prevent ohr own authors f rom
